There's only one kid living on a remote Scottish Island, so Redditors are sending him tons of Christmas cards

10-year-old Aron Anderson is the only student at his tiny school in Scotland. In fact, he's the only kid living on the island of Out Skerries, a Scottish archipelago with a total population around just 75 people.

"As the only school-age child on the island, Aron's best friends are his dog, some ducks and flocks of sheep," The Telegraph reported.

His gym class is a one-mile walk with his teacher, and his mother told The Telegraph this winter will be Aron's first as the only child living on Out Skerries.

So Redditors stepped in.

"We should do something to make him feel less lonely, let him know that he has friends on /r/Scotland who are thinking of him this Christmas," BesottedScot wrote on Reddit. "I took it upon myself to organise something nice for him. I thought it would be very nice if we as a subreddit sent him some Christmas cards!"

People have been responding positively to BesottedScot's call for cards.

"Lovely idea. I'm going to ask a friend who's a primary head to ask her P5 class to send a Christmas card to him," writes one Redditor.

People from everywhere from California to New Zealand have commented that they will be sending Anderson Christmas mail. All that's left to do is warn the Out Skerries mail carrier.

"Would be great if as many of us as possible do it," writes another Redditor. "Postman will get a shock though. 65 people probably don't get that much mail."
